This month is about discovering resources to help you care for yourself. We have invited Leeza’s Care Connection to provide tips, strategies, and resources to help you navigate the caregiving role and find that balance. Whether you are caring for a loved one with a disability or someone experiencing Alzheimer’s disease, they believe that you don’t have to walk this path alone. Please join us to find out the many resources and educational opportunities they offer.
Join us and learn about Community Options Integrated Services (COIS), a unique housing option for your loved one’s future. We will hear from Ingrid Rushing, who is the owner and CEO of COIS. Ingrid is an advocate and is passionate about her work and what her organization offers and is looking forward to sharing with all of you.
WHY IS THIS EVENT SO IMPORTANT?
Organizations across the state who genuinely care about Californians with developmental disabilities, their families and the dedicated workforce are VERY concerned about the current threats to federal funding for programs like Medicaid (Medi-Cal), Social Security benefits, and other vital supports and services that make it possible for people with disabilities to thrive in our communities. The time is NOW for the disability community to join forces, get loud, be seen, be heard and demonstrate the power of our collective voice. We encourage disability rights advocates and allies to attend the May 22 “Keep the Promise” rally to make sure our elected officials understand the importance of protecting disability services in federal and state budgets.
